from what I got so far, it feels like they are running from something or trying to find something. like what ask about Boston or why say the street are deserted, or that there are bodies laying around. Ummm very suspish

I love watching the Simpson's, mainly because everything that happens in life, somehow happened in the Simpsons first. I saw that somewhere. I remember watching this episode and I got to say I love the details. Even if you didn't see that episode, it feels like you can already see it, just reading them talk about it. I wonder why the writer wrote it like that. Just by reading it, that's not how someone tells a story.

Honestly I could understand why she does not want to leave. She wen through a lot in that house. All of her memories are in that house. Her son dies there, her husband and family. All the good and bad memories. but because of her hardships, throughout the whole play, she does not want to face reality. She always want to escape . She spends her money impulsively to distract herself from her own problems. And at the end she ends up going back to Paris with her unfaithful lover. Even at the end of the play, she still has this sense of not letting go. But she is only human.

I'm not sure why, but the second character i liked in this play other than Lyubov is Lopakhin. This character is seen as a villain for some reason. Because he sold the cherry tree, he is seen as this bad person, but to me it's the other way around. he did the family a good one. The whole family tends to live in the past, especially Lyubov. In able to move forward from the past, you have to let it go, but the tree had so much attachment to it, and so it was for the family to just move one. People were saying that he was doing it just to pleasure himself, but that is not the case.

Did anybody else realize how disturbing this is. I am gonna go out of my way to say: is it possibly pinpointing the Problems in America. I'm not sure where I'm going with this

This just made me tear up, that's just sick. very very sick. Ina a way this reminds me of tea house. Both plays were selling their children as profits.

this play just keeps getting more more interesting, I'm really curious. So she's selling herself for money and she's only 13, that's really sad. like what

why the peace sign. This is very funny if you think about. Is it suppose to be funny? because like the play starts off with a girl getting slapped and crying, but keeps wanting for more and now at this point this play is like written in a comedic tone. I'm not sure

I remember learning pansori in my world music class. Pansori is like a Korean musical storytelling. I wonder why they did decided to use that. Also, may I add this is very disturbing. Casey shared the video to this play and that is a very weird way to start a play. Reminds me of krapp Tape

Honestly have to say, reading this is pretty sad. No matter how hard they tried, nothing seemed to work out. all they wanted to do was just live. It's sad because their are a lot countries who are are going through the same thing. the government won't take care of their own people, instead they live in lavish while it's people are left to starve to death. At the end of the day there's nothing they could do, but take their own lives just to end the misery and pain because at least to them that's way better than having to live in a world where no one loves them, not even their own country. No one should have to resort taking their own lives just because it's country refused to care for them, just not right

I really like how this play highlight the lives of those who struggles to just live their lives. To be able to live in world that's controlled by higher ups, one must offer up their own freedom and self dignity just to live. Always have to be careful of what you say, because even the slightest hint of hatred will be used against you. A world where fairness is unknow. Not everyday you get to read something so detailed. This is so detailed in ways I can't even describe. The writer refused to hide any details, in the lives of what each and every one of those characters are going through.

Another government failing it's people. no one should have to make the choice of selling their kids, while the rich people get richer. That's just wrong

Already I can tell this play will be a bit hard to follow. So many characters

Not relating to this part of the play but the whole play. Honestly got a bit lost when I was reading this. I partly understood, but at some point I lost my way. I feel like i understand what this play is depicting. I know it has something to do with political and cultural, just got really lost. When I was reading Antigona, I was lost to but when I figure out the connections it had to dirty war, it was a lot easier to understand. Maybe it's like a version where Antigone choose the non reckless other path the reckless one. ( Yukina Stated I believe).

I really like this play so far.. But already in like the first 10 pages and one character stood out to me . A part if of me is seeing Abiola as Kreon. He speaks so highly of himself. Calling himself a "Top Dog". In a way I feel like this sentence can fit Antigone. Its kind of like Creon saying " here I thought that I king able to make rules, but now he has to face his rules being broken by someone who will be dead and buried." Not sure if it fits, but yeah

he by far he is the funnies in this play, well and also Mr. Mushnik. I don't know, but I find him very hilarious and witty. and a lot weird. I mean who gives a plant blood, but if you also think about it, it for the greater good. Because of poverty, he has to feed the plant that brings in the money his blood.

This my first time reading this, and I can by far, she is my favorite character. As all the characters in this play is going thought poverty, but Audrey is fighting for life as well. She comes up as this sweet character, generous, but deep down she is a complete mess. She mask herself to hide the scarves that she carries and that says a lot. she does not wish for money, nor does she wish for lavishness. All she wishes for his true happiness. To know what it feels to not hide behind that mask of her. And I truly love that about her

this line is very in interesting to me. If someone know how to interpret this, please let me know what you think. To me I feel like she's trying to say like seeing how she sees herself as like mentally uncapable to this and that, maybe she means she has never met the person that she wants to be, but that person is inside her. I don't know if that makes sense

This play is getting very hard to read. its just very painful.

I can relate so much to this part. My uncle was like a father to me, when my own father was not. He took care of me, made his home feel like mine when I was back in Africa. he is always calling me and asking me when am I gonna come visit him, I always say soon, but never got the chance to. He passed away. Ever since he passed i still have this whole in my heart, that nothing can ever seem to fill. always trying to things to take up that space, but she is right when she says this. nothing can fill the void that you feel in your heart. in time you just seem to slowly forget and move on, but that's to say the void will still be there

At this rate in the play, I have a strong belief that she is talking to her inner self. I though that she was talking about someone else or referring to someone, but I feel like it’s to herself. The self that she can’t seem to find. The self that she wants, not the one that she is. Maybe She’s saying she is not herself anymore. That self is gone and now she wants to find the person that she was before she started to think these stuff

I have never been more happy to write about something. this play has so much relations to what happen in the story were 30,000 people were "disappeared". When I was reading the play I did not understand a thing. I finished the play without still understanding what was going on. so like I kind of reread the play and then it hit me. this is my take, not sure but yeah. So Antigone represent the ladies ( the mothers, the grandmother etc. of the 30,000 people that have disappeared), and her white dress represent the whites scarves. The dirty war represent the time when Antigona was walking to find her brother in the battle field were lies so many lies ( which represent the 30,000 thousands that have lost their lives) Antigona wanting to find her brother and give him a proper burial, could be seen as the women's wanting to find their loves one, but can't because the government wont let them. so instead when Creon "punished" Antigona could be seen as the government which is Creon who started kidnapping and killing the protesters. At the end of the play Antigona mentioned that she will never stop wanting to bury Polynices, she will always want to bury him, and then Antinous says that Creon will always punish him could be see as the protesters saying that they will never stop until the truth about the dirty wars is fully solved even if the government will always want to stop them. I'm not sure if people already notices this, but I got exited writing this

I can't be the only one who finds this weird right? I mean yeah sometimes, maybe like other culture and stuff like that. I am Muslim, and I don't know if its related to Islamic culture, but I don't think so. I'm just overly lost

I can't see to shakes off the feeling that when he said this, it had something to do with the story he just told. honestly, I got so lost reading this. there was a part about the customers complaining about hum not telling happy stories, but yet they are still coming back the next day. Maybe that's why he said it depends on you. I remember him saying that when it's time for him to tell the story that they so long for, he will tell it, but in the mean time, he will tell other stories. they said they come to this café to enjoy his time not to become depressed and overwhelmed, but again yet they still come and why is that? simply because of curiosity. if they stop coming they will never hear the story they want, so they will keep coming and hoping that they will hear it

so technically he got away with false identity. he completely abandoned the person he was and now is know as Jeraiah Jip the fighting machine. no more Galy Gay, but somehow throughout the whole play, instead of changing his character name to Jip, it stayed as Galy. Maybe the writer was trying to say that no matter who or what you become you will always be the person you were meant to be be. like the past can't escape you or something like that.

Ok seriously, what is going between the two of them. I get that you don't want to be caught, but he really just looked at his wife in the face and told her that she has mistaken him for someone else. And she knows him so much, she even says he cant hold hi liquor, but the part that just don't make sense is her after saying she knows him and that's her husband, she flat out says she was mistaken. I mean I get that you can mistake someone for someone else seeing how they like have quality that the person you know have and maybe that's the case you never know. But honestly it's just weird. one he said Jeraiah Jip, well now it's not her husband. Just weird

I don't know if I'm the only one that finds what he said interesting. the way he said it at like the end of scene 4 and then the scene ended. Maybe he was trying to leave the readers to think.

ummm... is this true? because I don't remember hearing this

okay, now, really. "Nigger bitch" if I remember the words I read, he walked in on her, so why hit her and tell her to not sneak up on you. this the problem I have reading about slavery or any type of slave related content. I be so mad to the point of me wanting to punch someone. Also ow can they joke about someone and her baby being sold. Like literally they can be next up on the list to be sold like properties. And also the fact that their own be betraying them. I mean honestly in a way I kind of get it, you don't want your baby to be sold, so you're going to get someone else to be sold instead. But still don't to others what you would not want done on yourself.

I find the whole Dialogue between Dido and Minnie very hilarious. It's just like the way you would say how new Yorkers talk. dis just the way me and my friends talk, especially when we are talking about someone else. I don't know whether it's suppose to be funny or not, but i really do find it funny.

I felt very drawn to his dream. to dream about bees attacking you, then realizing it's not attacking him, but it is him. There a lot of ways you can interpret having dreams about bees. some says it more of a good luck coming your way, but some say's it's more of a bad luck and that something challenging is headed your way. The way I see it it's the bees were trying to send him a message. At the time when he states that he was suffocating is like in his mind when the bees are on him he quickly thinks about when people are like criticizing him that everything he wrote is about something else, and that he can't never make it as a black playwright. And maybe when he realizes the bees are not suffocating him, but becoming him, maybe trying to say don't let these people criticize you, and like just calm down and be free. ( hope y'all get it)

Alison life was a hit of emotional roller costar. First you find out that you are a lesbian, than finds out your father is into man, and than finds out you father committed suicide by willingly stepping in front of a moving truck. That is a lot to take in. makes you wonder if you are the reason he toke his life, makes you wonder why he did it or why did anything happen. I felt so sad for her. the fact that she kinds of blaming herself as to what happened to her dad.

what also strikes me weird is the fact they call the home "fun home". I really do wonder why they call it fun home. why not funeral home, why fun home and especially why only in the family? when I first read it i literally thought that the book was about a fun home, that kids comes to play in or something fun, not death and bodies related. also the way they did the commercial has a little humor to it. I know It's not suppose to be funny, but I think they wanted it to have humor in it, since it is actually called a fun home.

Okay, I don't know if I'm the only one that is highly disturbed by this. I know it's a family business, but I'm disturbed. the fact that the kids are not fazed my death structs me highly weird. then on the next page the kids just goes into details about how a crack head hangs from the head and just death in general. they were just talking about death like it's a normal conversation between kids. well I mean they are in a funeral home

At this point in the play, you kind of get the sense that her dad is gone and also the play is like written in a past and present tense of Allison life. Its like a walk down memory lanes. But what strike me the most was the fact that she said she don't trust memory. It makes you think as to why is that. I mean the whole book is based on her memories and her memories alone. how she found herself, how she sees her dad, how this and that happen. so how come she states she don't trust memories. she said said she trust cartoons more than she trust her own memories. Maybe her drawing cartoons were the only way she could remember her father in more details, or like she wanted to use cartoons to draw her life story. not sure, just my thoughts

This mainly the reason humans are being referred to as animal, or more like animals are better than humans. I don't really understand, the reading that much, but this part of the reading made me mad. the captain is a total douchebag who thinks the rich have more virtuous than the poor. which is highly not true. just because you have money does not mean you are a virtuous man. I don't know, i fee like I'm not making sense

I'm not quite sure about this, but it was kind of lost at some point, but I feel like he uses the animals to symbolize the nature of humans for example the monkey is a way of representing Woyzeck and people who are controlled by others more privileged. And the horse to idealize the ideal human. For example in scene “ This is no dumb animal, this is a person. A human being in animal form—but still a beast, still an animal. That’s right, put society to shame. You see, this animal is still in a state of nature. Unidealized nature.” maybe I'm wrong or not. but it just felt weird for him to be comparing, but basically saying animals are better than humans. or the facts that we as people act all human, but at the end of the end were all animals

I'm not sure, but when I kept reading I keep getting the sense that throughout the play, there's like parts in the play where there's a reference of their dreams. Like Julie saying she on a hill and to climb down, but Jean is like his under and wants to climb up. in this like he tells her to fall down to me, and I'll lift you up again. It's like he's trying to make her trust him. to me the dream was like Julie wants to come down from the higher position she is currently, but Jean wants to climb up to a higher position. so yeah feel like I feel like there's a reference of their dreams throughout the play. Maybe he's telling her to climb and together they could like be higher ups. ( I'm not sure, just my way of seeing it)

this whole story just changed. It went from being an obnoxious spoiled girl, to like this girl who no longer knows herself. Honestly feel sorry for her. there was a reason why she does not trust men. the way Jean played with her feelings and all, was just wrong. he didn't have to make her feel so low. but on the other hand, Julie is ummm mood swinger. like for example, just a page ago, she was begging Jean for help, telling him she will do anything, telling him to come with him, but on the other hand she says she doesn't trust ( well I don't think Jean is to be trusted either) but it's like she does not know what to do with her life anymore. you know that dream she metioned about being on a hill, she needs to come down, but she does want, I felt like at this point of the reading, her dream did come true, because she went like from this royal rich girl, to like a servant her self, begging for a servant to save her life ( If I'm not misunderstanding the reading).

ok, honestly at this point in the reading, I've come to agree with Jean on the fact that Miss Julie is a little crazed in the head. while reading throughout the previous few pages, I sense That she might be in attention getter, or maybe she lacks love or perhaps something like that. she sound like a spoiled Brat to be honest. she loves to order Jean around like he's a dog and she loves wanting to hear about people feeling towards her, but she never want to reveal her own feelings. At first I thought Jean was in love with Kristen, because he is always saying what a wonderful wife she would make, but turned out that he Loves Julie, or maybe He is just messing with her feelings. for her to literally say "have you no feelings", it's confusing, because on the other hand, it's her that does not have any feelings. Also I feel like maybe she's afraid of letting people in to her life, perhaps not quite sure, but I get the feeling.
